A fun thread idea stolen from Reddit today...

So, ISTPs (male and female), what are some masculine things about you, and what are some feminine things about you?

Okay, I'll speak for my ISTP: Um, masculine:



(1) He transformed the basement into a comfortable man-space for all his tools and servers. Used power tools and hand saws to make tables and build shelves there.
(2) He drives the biggest, longest, bright-red pickup truck I've ever seen. Yeah.
(3) He can build bikes and carries both our heavy bikes simultaneously down flights of stairs so I don't have to.
(4) His attitude is pretty much fearless, and has survived some pretty crazy accidents...

Feminine:
- His clothes always have to match (right color belt, etc.). And he takes forever to pick out a new piece of clothing. He's kind of a peacock.
- He's a sucker for our kitten. No baby talk ever, but he makes weird kissy noises that are just for her and spoils her rotten. Jealous...
- He's very, very fussy about giving friends not-boring! spectacular! gifts. But at the very last minute. This last one, I'm not sure if it qualifies as feminine, but I'm more laid-back about it (we're sort of past the age of mandatory presents), while he gets all worked up about something not being cool enough...

EDIT: I guess his one fear is fear of all things boring.

Masculine:
Pretty much everything.

Feminine:
I'm really picky about shoes? Style and Fit wise.

Masculine: I like dogs.

Feminine: I like cats, too.



It's. A. Joke.

Masculine: I like dogs.

Feminine: I like cats, too.

Liking cats isn't feminine. It's just recognizing your traits in somebody else. I'm a big fan of cat lifestyle.

Just a joke.

Teacup poodles and miniature chihuahuas are pretty girly dogs... Wasn't saying that having cats are feminine... it's more how one reacts to animals, babies, whathaveyou. Pretty much any weak, helpless thing brings out a nurturing/protective side from my ISTP. Well, I guess that could be considered masculine too.

What's masculine? Yeah pretty much everything.
What's feminine? Extremely picky about the clothes I wear and shoes too.

[madhatter]

I always make kissy and meow-y noises at my cats.

why do i have a feeling that some of the 'istp admireres' will rather post more things here than istp's themselves?

As much as i have gathered, most of us (atleast the ones i know) are quite modest and rarely if ever toot their own horn.

My feminine traits: I like saturated-colours clothing and (tons of) chocolate. And I like to watch chick-flicks. Masculine: everything else I guess. I'm not sure what is classified as neutral.
